Geographies of Linear Infrastructure
summary
Shows how linear referencing and simple intersection/proximity overlays map direct (red) and indirect (orange) impacts of roads on registered parks and gardens around Brighton/Hastings, then compares multiple route options by scoring environmental and sustainability metrics using GIS workflows to run rapid, repeatable assessments. Demonstrates using those same linear corridors to plan habitat connectivity actions to meet the UK’s 10% biodiversity net gain mandate from Nov 2023, and cites tram-usage monitoring in Greater Manchester as an applied example of behavioural data informing design.
